SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires husky, lint-staged, @commitlint/cli, @commitlint/config-conventional, commitizen, cz-conventional-changelog, onchange, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates code quality checks and standards enforcement, preventing common errors and ensuring consistency before code is committed to the repository.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Linting & Formatting: Ensures code adheres to style guides using tools like ESLint and Prettier.
  • Commit Message Validation: Enforces the Conventional Commits standard for clear and consistent commit history.
  • Pre-Push Checks: Runs tests and builds to catch issues before they reach the remote repository.
  • Use Case: A developer attempts to commit code with console.log statements or a poorly formatted commit message; the pre-commit hook will block the commit and prompt for correction, maintaining repository health.

Quick Start

Run the setup script to install and configure the pre-commit hooks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce conventional commits and linting before a git push?

You can enforce conventional commits and linting by automating pre-push and pre-commit hooks with Husky. This validates commit messages using Commitlint and runs code quality checks before code reaches the remote repository.

What is the best way to prevent console.log statements from being committed to git?

The best way to prevent console.log statements is using pre-commit hooks with lint-staged. This blocks commits containing linting errors and prompts for correction, maintaining repository health.

How do pre-commit hooks integrate with CI/CD pipelines?

Pre-commit hooks integrate with CI/CD pipelines by ensuring code quality at the commit and push stages. Running tests and builds via Husky pre-push checks catches issues locally before they reach the continuous integration environment.

Can I use commitizen with Husky to standardize commit messages?

Yes, you can use commitizen with Husky to standardize commit messages. This combination enforces the Conventional Commits standard for clear and consistent commit history validation.

Why does my pre-commit hook block commits with poorly formatted messages?

Pre-commit hooks block poorly formatted commits to enforce coding standards. Commitlint validates messages against conventional commit rules, ensuring clear history and preventing common errors before code is committed.
